when we look at texas, for example. texas photo i.d. laws do not permit an individual to use their veterans i.d. to vote. does not permit an individual to use a student i.d. to vote. but it does permit individuals with concealed carry gun licenses to vote. in fact, these laws are not these uniform, neutral laws as are suggested. they are written in a very specific way to exclude specific populations having access to the polls and that's what makes them suppressive. >> i'm sorry, but that is simply not true. the reason that texas does not include a student i.d. is for the simple reason something that came up in the presidential race because colleges in texas not only allow illegal aliens to attend school, they provide them with in-state tuition. in georgia they allow a student i.d. to be used and that's because they don't have that same provision. >> ifill: we're going to have to continue this conversation at about time. mr. hans von spakovsky from the heritage foundation, keesha gaskin from the brennan center. thank you both very much.

let's talk about that with ron paul of texas. he's joining us right now from the first in the nation primary state of new hampshire. congressman, thanks very much for coming in. before we get to the presidential campaign, put your congressional hat on for a moment. agree on almost anything nowadays and there could be a government shutdown as early as this weekend unless the appropriations bills are passed. what's going on? why is congress so dysfunctional? >> this seems to be business as usual. how many times have we gone through this in the last couple of years? sort of to be routine. at the last minute, they go down to the wire and negotiate to the bitter end. always trying to get one angle over the other one. i don't think think the government's going to shut down. it hasn't happened in a long, long time. i don't think it's in the interest of either party to do it, so they'll probably come up with some compromise at midnight and settle the argue. >> but it does send a horrible message when various agencies are told, get ready,

has been a battle raging over redistricting first a map was drawn up by the texas state g.o.p. that gave more seats to you guessed it the g.o.p. then a d.c. court ruled that a three judge panel said antonio should drop a new map and that one ended up heavily favoring the democrats so now the u.s. supreme court stepped in blocked that original ruling announced that they're going to rule on the issue next year so yeah it's complicated and in fact it's what's happening in our air what's happening here is our justice system at work trying to sort out this issue so that hopefully will be fair and constitutional at the end of the day but again it's just a singular example one example of everybody trying to rig the system in their favor what's the best way to fix it well i'm not sure that i know but i think that it's necessary to draw attention to it to highlight the political war starts of the most local levels and then moves up the battle for the money for the votes to shut certain people up it's all around us and if the mainstream media which prides itself on its incessant election
